New Zealand v England: third men’s cricket Test, day one – live | New Zealand v England 2024


Key events

29th over: New Zealand 93-0 (Latham 36, Young 42) Atkinson returns to the attack after lunch with a maiden to Will Young. It takes him a few deliveries to find his line; when he does, Young is beaten on the inside by a dangerous nipbacker. England have simultaneously been unlucky and slightly under-par.

“Putting Australia in at the Gabba?” says Tom Hopkins. “When has that ever gone wrong?”

Ha, quite. I suppoe it helps when you have Jasprit Bumrah.

The third Test between Australia and India has just got underway at the Gabba. India won the toss and put Australia into bat. You can follow that with Martin Pegan.

Preamble

Hello and welcome to live, belated over-by-over coverage of the third Test between New Zealand and England in Hamilton. As you may be aware, Guardian and Observer members of the National Union of Journalists have been on strike for the last 48 hours, hence the late start to our coverage.

Right, to the bin my friend the cricket. New Zealand had an excellent morning, reaching 93 without loss after being put in by Ben Stokes. Tom Latham (36) and Will Young (42) needed some luck, particularly against Matt Potts, but overall they played really well.
